Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com This movie is certifiably insane, that's a given, but it's also extremely witty, has far more intelligence than you might originally expect and has a grand time exploding clichés and playing with an audience's expectations. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Here's something you don't see every day: a genial, politically correct splatter comedy. Jan 4, 2012 Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com Clever horror/comedy hybrid of the kind that Sam Raimi used to make and that so many have tried to produce in recent years but have fallen remarkably flat. There's nothing flat about this clever genre flick. For the right audience, it's pretty great. Rated: 4.0/5.0 Oct 7, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review What lasts throughout is the comic chemistry between Labine and Tudyk, who make these not-so-stupid characters into a lovable duo that should have their own series of films. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Even folks who generally shy away from gorefests should appreciate the dark humor, surprising plot pirouettes, and, most shockingly, developed characterizations in Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. Rated: 3/4 Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It pokes fun at every splatter movie cliché and gimmick you can imagine while also packaging in a load of genuinely funny dialogue and hilarious gags. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Henrik J Very much a hidden gem of a movie, it's not amount the greatest of all time but for such an unknown movie it's a lot of fun with an entertaining premise, showed it to my gf and she loved it too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review Rowan R Tucker & Dale vs Evil is, and will always be, a good watch. Clever, comedic violence is where this movie clearly thrives. Led by two strong comedic actors bumbling their way through an onslaught of college kids, blood, and guts, this movie never fails to bring a smile to my face. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Kevin V I could watch this movie more than once and still find it great. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Daniel C. Best horror comedy EVER! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review David L Amazing movie. Everyone should see it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Vasqu3z V One of the best Horror Comedys ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
